Grieving parents are easily distracted by pop-culture recollections. “Who was the guy from that sitcom….”

Dog Mountain performs again tonight at PHIT, 9:00pm.

There are some rare extra comedy treats happening this weekend. In addition to many of the regular shows you can find on our calendar, here are a handful of must-see performances.

Friday:

Jim Jeffries@ The Keswick Theater. 8:00pm
If you haven’t seen his comedy, give yourself a quick sample on YouTube. He’s like an Austrailian Doug Stanhope. He may some day go down as one of the greats.

Hang On With Aaron Nevins@ The Adrienne Playground. 8:00pm.
Outstanding panel comedy featuring very funny Philly comedians. Tonight’s guests are the creators of High Maintenance–named Best Web Series by USA Today and The Guardian–and Ethan T. Berlin the creator of IFC’s Bunk (who’s also been a writer on Superjail and Da Ali G Show).

Saturday:

Davenger’s Final Show@ PHIT. 9:00pm.
The former WitOut Award Winner for best new act features many of Philadelphia’s best young improv talent. They’re likely to sell out, so get your tickets online.

Ted Alexandro@ Helium. 7:30pm & 10:00pm.
Very funny Letterman regular. Catch him here at a small club before he starts doing theaters.
